Online dating as a Black woman...

Right. Reactivated my online dating account as I was bored and thought it might be nice to have conversations with some new guys and see where it goes.

Anyway, I get talking to this white French guy. All seems to be going well. He asked me what type of guy I go for and I said that I dont really mind about ethnicity...but! If im going to date someone who isn't Black I want to be reassured they aren't racist or that Black women aren't a fetish to them.

He then claims that he has never heard of the fetishisation of Black people. I said okay well its definitely a thing but we can move on.

5 or so minutes later he then says...would you be my slave in the bedroom? To which I just responded with the shocked emoji because I genuinely was. He then said he obviously isn't being serious he just wanted to be funny. I just told him that its not funny to say things like that, let's just move on. Anyways the conversation moved on to something else, then he said he had something serious to ask me...lo and behold! He asked the exact same thing again. This time I just replied saying no and I'm uncomfortable and that this isn't funny.

I guess I'm really shocked that he found that funny. Totally put me off online dating altogether.

Has something similar ever happened to anyone else?

I have never received the slave comment, disgusting. But I have got the fetishisation, asked if I could give great BJs because of my “juicy black lips. I always get the “I love your exotic Ed’s and skin colour”. It makes me sick, I report and block them. My friend met her husband OLD, I meet racists 🙄

@babynumber2pending hahaha, they will get a verbal beat down 😋

Oh wait totally read that wrong, thought you meant my time was coming to be called a slave 😳 evidently my mind isn’t working after reading that tier4 is now happening. Thank you @babynumber2pending Prince Charming awaits

babynumber2pending · 20/12/2020 06:26

Omg no! I hope you don't experience what I did! Kmt!

Yes I definitely meant your time is hopefully coming to meet your prince charming.

To be honest I've lost the energy for online dating. I'll see how I feel after the new year, sometimes it feels like a bit of a chore.

@babynumber2pending I hear you in respects to it feeling like a chore. I have also taken a step back from OLD. Would be great to meet someone through a friend one day. Anyway, I truly hope it works out for you in the new year.

I’m married 20 years my husband is white
In my youth I dated black, mixed race and white men but physically my preference is for white men but a certain type I like tall well built athletic type guys sort of like the “Rock” and they are hard to find, my husband 6ft 3 so that works for me 😁 but he hasn’t got the Rocks money yet .
He definitely didn’t marry me for my cooking skills as I can barely boil an egg, let alone cook rice n peas 😂 in fact he will do all the cooking as he knows I’m terrible at it .
What I do find interesting Is that when we met I rarely if ever saw a black woman with a white guy . When we used to go out to clubs we could literally be the only black woman/ white man in a club of a couple of thousand people 😂
Now it’s changed a lot and it’s much more common but back then it definitely wasn’t
